Today we visited toronto’s majestic castle better known as Casa Loma. With me and the girls all wearing our crowns I compleatley fealt like even more of a princess. Many younger kinds even asked for high fives and to take pictures with us. We had a full tour of the entire castle and we even got told a fiew ghoast stories. Those stories were. by far my favourite part of the morining hands down. When we traveled to the top of the castle we had an over looking view of all of Toronto. It was absolutely breath taking. Once again Thank you to Casa Loma for an amazing morning in Toronto’s finest castle.

Thank you so much to Dave & Buster’s for an amazing night! I had so much fun playing all the games tonight as well as eating the delicious food! @dnbvaughan #daveandbusters #dnbvaughan #missteenagecanada #missteenagecsnada2018 @teenagecanada

Two of my meals for Miss Teenage Canada! We were given clean meals and I must say they are the perfect kind of food to eat if you want to have a healthy lifestyle. Feels really good to have healthy food being put in my body. Thease meals were not only packed with vegetables, but they are also extremely filling and satisfying. Its important to eat healthy especially through long days that we have through out the pageant. Eating healthy gives me the energy I need to take on the day with the most productivity I can possibly achieve.

I also appreciate how many options clean meals has to offer. Certain food preferences are not a problem with there vegan and vegetarian food alternative options. There really is something for everyone. I especially love how quick and convenient they are to make when on a tight schedule.

Once again thanks so much clean meals for taking care of us. Go check out cleanmeals.ca to start off your healthy lifestyle now. #cleanmeals #cleanmealsca #mtc #missteenagecanada #mtc2018 @missteenagecanada

I am so excited to begin sharing my journey to Nationals with you all! Winning this title just one month ago was an amazing whirlwind experience that I would love to relive again and again. I have grown up very comfortable with being onstage, and I have been in many plays and productions within my community that have all culminated in a confident stage presence. I know that these years of hard work in the theatrical and musical world have helped to lead to my success in the regional MTC competition, and I cannot wait to continue working on, and improving these skills as I work towards the big competition in August! I absolutely love musical performances involving singing and piano, so naturally I am incredibly happy MTC nationals has a talent section! My journey to the crown began in 2016 when I applied on a whim, and I am so happy I did! I mean, who would turn down the chance to be a princess? But, more than ballgowns, makeup, and curls, this competition is about using your passion as your platform and making a difference in the community. This year holds so many exciting things for me as I wrap up my last year of highschool (refer to the graduation head-shot below of a very excited me), but it also holds in store some significant changes. I am so grateful to be a part of the MTC experience which will allow me to grow in so many ways before I head off to University!

The life of a pageant girl is absolutely crazy and exhausting, and what better way to fuel up than to eat a good meal? Yesterday at the Eaton Center Mall I had the privilege of eating at the #richtree food truck where they served up amazing tacos and burritos. I personally had the beef burrito which was made with some delicious fresh onions, lettuce, and cheese all of which is locally grown and organic.

I wonder how they got this bus in the mall ….

The overall atmosphere of this market-style restaurant was trendy, vintage, and refreshing from the typical grab and go food place. Who ever came up with the idea to use a robin-egg blue Volkswagen hippie bus is an absolute genius and would love to talk to them about their artistic eye. I am so grateful for the opportunity to eat here because I love to try new things! I almost could not decide what to have; I was torn between the chicken tacos and the burritos. I would absolutely come back if ever I was looking for delicious and authentic Mexican food 🙂 If ever you are in the area I highly recommend swinging by for a bite. Who needs to wait for #tacotuesday when there’s always a #richtreefiesta at the Eaton Centre!
